Chili Dog Sliders
These chili dog sliders are everything you love about a classic ballpark chili dog, packed into a pull-apart party slider. They’re cheesy, messy, and totally addictive. Perfect for game day, movie night, or a quick family dinner that everyone will grab seconds of without asking. No need to fuss with individual hot dogs when you can bake them all at once on a tray.
Before you get started
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grab a baking dish that fits the rolls snugly. You’ll want to use pre-cooked lil smokies or mini hot dogs for quick prep. If you’re using canned chili, heat it slightly to make spreading easier. Slice the Hawaiian rolls as one unit so they stay together when assembling.
What You Need To Make Chili Dog Sliders
You can find the exact amounts in the recipe card, but here’s what you’ll need:
- Hawaiian rolls
- Sliced cheese (American, cheddar, or your favorite meltable kind)
- Lil smokies or mini hot dogs
- Chili (homemade or store-bought)
- More cheese for the top
How To Make Chili Dog Sliders
1
Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping them attached. Place the bottom layer in a greased baking dish. Lay down a layer of sliced cheese, then line up the lil smokies evenly across the rolls.
2
Spoon chili over the top of the sausages, spreading it to cover. Sprinkle another layer of shredded or sliced cheese over the chili. Place the top half of the rolls back on and gently press down.
3
Cover with foil and bake at 350 for about 15 minutes, or until everything is hot and melty. Remove the foil for the last few minutes if you want the tops golden and toasted.
4
Slice and serve warm while the cheese is gooey and the rolls are soft.
